Why would my flow keep adding ['$'] to my compose outputs within an update item function

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 39

Hello, 

 

I'm currently going through and comparing values within two lists. I have a bunch of compose functions that are specifying the values I would like to have updated later on in my flow. 

 

However, when I reference the compose in my update items it's adding a ?['$'] to the end of the specified value. Not sure why it would be doing that automatically. 

 

Anyone have any insight to why it might be doing that?

 

Thanks!

    Hi @jenniferhuicong 

     

    What value is this? Where is it coming from?

     

    Thanks

    This happened to me when I copied my Compose step and pasted it in the same workflow. Then both of the steps had the $ in it each time after saving the flow. It worked out when I deleted both of the steps and created them from fresh.
     
    Hope this helps.
